Wofford Rifle To Utilize Falken
Wofford College's NCAA rifle team is modernizing its training and match-day operations through a new partnership with Falken, the marksmanship platform built for competition management, athlete development, and broadcast production. The partnership — Falken's first with an NCAA program — brings Wofford onto Falken's full software platform, with downrange cameras and broadcast integration to follow in the coming months.
Wofford's coaching staff and athletes will use Falken to manage day-to-day program operations: rosters, equipment tracking, training journals, match scheduling, and live match scoring. The platform is built specifically for rifle and pistol — not adapted from a generic sports tool — and centralizes the workflows that programs have historically pieced together from spreadsheets, paper logs, and one-off scoring software.
The biggest day-to-day shift for the program will come from Falken's analytics. The platform captures shot-level data — shot-group geometry, hold patterns, and shot-timing rhythm — and pairs it with biometric inputs such as heart-rate trends across a string. Together, that data exposes the kind of weak points coaches can't see by eye: a shooter whose group tightens but whose rhythm breaks late in a match, an athlete whose hold quality degrades under elevated heart rate, or position-by-position trends that point to a specific drill rather than a generalized "shoot more." The result is targeted training instead of guesswork.
In the coming months, Wofford will install downrange cameras at its home range. Those feeds will tie directly into Falken's OBS-based broadcast pipeline — enabling YouTube streaming for parents, alumni, and recruits — and into RangeCast, Falken's remote-coaching and spectator system. The combination lets coaches review athletes' execution in detail after a match and lets supporters follow the program from anywhere.
"Wofford is exactly the kind of program we built Falken for — a coaching staff that wants real data on their athletes, not just final scores," said Rich Weiser, founder of Falken. "Earning the trust of an NCAA program is a meaningful step, and we're proud Wofford is the first."
"I am thrilled to be partnering with Falken. When Rich demoed Falken to me, I was blown away by the capabilities of the system. I am most excited for the data analysis features. Gone are the endless spreadsheets, and in with thorough analysis that will aid me in my coaching. Rich knows our sport and has built a program centered around making both shooters and coaches better," said Seth Flanagan, head coach of Wofford Rifle.
The agreement marks Falken's first partnership with an NCAA rifle program. The platform has been used by junior teams; the Wofford partnership extends that footprint into varsity NCAA athletics, where data-driven coaching and broadcast production are increasingly part of how programs develop talent and engage their communities.
